Hiking
Blackberry Farm features over three miles of paved trails on the estate and a variety of scenic paths and challenging trails throughout the property’s 9,200 acres of wooded mountains for excursions. Local wilderness guides are available for hire if you prefer the skill and guidance of their experience. You will enjoy hearing local history, tree and plant information as well as the companionship and watchful eye, ensuring your day on the trails is just as you envision. Our dedicated 1,000 acres contain over 7 miles of complex trails ranging from moderate to very challenging in skill level. We recommend that you let our team at the Oak Cottage know your hiking plans. We have water, first aid kits and two-way radios available for your hike. Conditions on the trails can change without warning, and we want you to be prepared. Neighboring Great Smoky Mountains National Park offers a complex system of trails located within a 2-mile hike from our trailhead. If you decide to venture off property into the Smokies, let one of our guides take you to spectacular waterfalls, beautiful vistas, or even on sections of the Appalachian Trail.
